Heading back to Nottingham tomorrow after 3 enjoyable days in Newcastle with Hannah and family.
The poker lessons went really well I think. Everyone picked it up alright (the rules that is
) and they were really keen to play again and we played another game today. Hannah won the first game with some epic tekkers.
It was interesting to see how total beginners instantly played totally different styles. Hannah's brother Will wanted to play every hand, but her Dad and sister's boyfriend, Tom were both much more catious and patient. Overall, a success
Showed her Dad how the online poker world works and played 6 tables for him - he seemed pretty befuddled to say the least!
We took a walk along the beach, helped Hannah out with her horse (yes, she's a posh Geordie!) and had a big family gathering today with homemade curry which was delicious! I hope I did a good job with her family, am not very good at all that sort of thing, think I did OK though (doing the washing up 3 days running was defo +EV long term imo
)

SOOOO many sweats atm. ALL of team eureka made it through to day 2 of the deepstack (which got a MASSIVE 434 runners total and prize pool of £217,000 - more than double previous months - superb). So really hoping one of them will ship it. Will be in DTD for the rail, and hoping to get a stint in the commentary box alongside Trumper to try my hand at that - would really enjoy that I think.
And there's the hero that is Lil Dave, still in the WPT in Dublin with 15 left - don't think he's ever had a big tournament score in his career yet and he really deserves one so rooting really hard for him. Hope this isn't a bok, gogo Dave!
Back on the grind HARD when I return, need to win mad dimes you see.
